Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
Q: What is a Marine Float Air Cap used for?
A: It automatically releases air trapped in marine piping systems (e.g., fuel, ballast, cooling water) and prevents vacuum formation, ensuring smooth fluid flow and protecting pumps and tanks. -
Q: What is the difference between cast iron and bronze versions?
A: Cast iron is economical and suitable for non-corrosive freshwater applications. Bronze offers superior corrosion resistance in seawater and is recommended for saltwater systems. -
Q: Does this product comply with international standards?
A: It is manufactured per Chinese standard CB/T3594-94, which is widely accepted in the marine industry. Flanges can be supplied with PN16 or ANSI 150 drilling patterns upon request. -
Q: Is a Mill Test Report included?
A: Yes, a Mill Test Report (MTR) is provided with each shipment, detailing the chemical and mechanical properties of the materials used. -
Q: What sizes are available?
A: Standard sizes range from DN50 to DN200. Other sizes (e.g., DN250, DN300) and custom flange configurations are available upon request with a minimum order quantity. -
Q: How do I install and maintain the float air cap?
A: Installation is straightforward via bolting to a matching flange. Maintenance involves periodic cleaning of the float and seat; the top cover can be removed easily without disturbing the pipework. -
Q: Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?
A: Yes, sample orders are welcome. We can provide a sample unit for testing at a nominal cost, which is refundable for bulk orders. -
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: For standard sizes, lead time is 15–25 working days. Custom orders may require 30–40 days. We also offer express delivery for urgent needs.
